However, in the above, even if the position is determined by placing a photograph on the front panel, the position of the photograph is easily shifted if the front panel is tilted. Furthermore, even if the photograph is placed on the front panel and kept horizontal, there is a problem that when the back plate is attached, if the magnet piece is firmly attached to the magnetic piece, the photograph is moved by the wind pressure.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the back plate is slid and attached little by little without stopping it at a stretch. However, even if the back plate is slid in this way, the photograph is pushed against the slid back plate and moves. Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a gap between the back of the front panel and the display window so that a photograph can be dropped. However, if a gap is provided in this way, the photo will move after the back plate is attached. There is.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to prevent the photograph from moving when the back plate is fixed with a magnet so that the photograph can be attached surely and easily.

In order to solve the above problems, in the invention of claim 1, in the photo frame in which the magnet pieces at the four corners of the back plate are attached to the magnetic pieces at the four corners of the front panel, the display window peripheral edge of the back surface of the front panel is attached. In addition, a configuration is adopted in which a pressing plate having one end opened and closed is provided so as to cover the display window.

By adopting such a configuration, in this photo frame, when the pressing plate is opened, a photo is placed on the display window and the pressing plate is closed, the pressing plate presses the photo and stops moving. Thus, since the photograph is pressed by the pressing plate, the position placed on the display window can be maintained as long as the front panel is slightly inclined. When the back plate is attached in this state, the pressure plate receives the wind pressure when the back plate is adsorbed. At this time, since one end of the pressing plate is attached and fixed to one side of the peripheral edge of the display window, it does not move and the received wind pressure can be released in all directions. Further, the pressing plate presses the photograph with wind pressure, and the movement of the photograph can be suppressed.

At this time, the invention of claim 2 employs a configuration in which the magnetic pieces at the four corners of the front panel are magnet pieces, and the magnetic pieces at the four corners of the back plate are magnetic pieces.

Since the back plate can also be adsorbed by adopting such a configuration, a photo frame that suppresses the movement of the photo can be realized.

Moreover, in invention of Claim 3, the structure provided with the string or chain which attached the magnetic piece or magnet piece attached to the both ends to the magnet piece of a backplate is employable.

By adopting such a configuration, if the magnet piece or magnetic piece at both ends of the string or chain is attached to the magnet piece or magnetic piece of the back plate attached to the front panel, the attached string or chain can be used. The frame can be suspended. The string or chain can be pulled and removed when it is no longer necessary to suspend it.

Further, in the invention of claim 4, when a bent portion connecting both sides is provided on both sides sandwiching one corner of the back plate, the bent portion is bent and the back plate is attached to the front panel. It is possible to adopt a configuration that can be started up.

By adopting such a configuration, when the back plate is attached to the front panel and the bent portion is bent and raised, the photo frame can be placed on a desk or the like with the raised portion as a support.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the front panel is attached to both sides of the back plate of the photo frame, and has a base portion and a mounting portion standing on the base portion, and the mounting portion is connected to the front panel of the photo frame. A configuration including a stand inserted between the back plates and locked is adopted.

By adopting such a configuration, the attached portion of the inserted stand is sandwiched and held between the front panel and the back plate, so that the photo frame can be set up vertically using the stand.

In this case, according to the invention of claim 6, the front panels are provided with magnet pieces, and the front panels are directly attached to each other except for the back plate as the direction of attracting the magnetic poles of the magnet pieces of the opposing front panel. In addition, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the mounting portion of the stand is inserted and locked between the front panels.

By adopting such a configuration, for example, a photo frame capable of displaying photographs can be provided on both the front and back sides.

Further, the invention of claim 7 employs a configuration in which the back plate is thickened and a concave portion is formed in a portion facing the display window of the front panel of the thick back plate, and small items are stored in the concave portion. can do.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to accommodate thick accessories such as other accessories as well as photographs and cards.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to easily attach a photograph.

The best mode of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown to Fig.1 (a), the photo frame of this form is comprised by the front panel 2 and the backplate 4, and becomes a structure which provided the press board 10 in the front panel 2. As shown in FIG. The front panel 2 and the back plate 4 are manufactured using leather craft.

The front panel 2 has a display window 1 formed at the center of a rectangle, and has a structure in which magnetic pieces (iron pieces) 3 are provided at four corners thereof. In addition, a pressing plate is provided on the periphery of the display window on the back surface of the front panel 2 so as to be freely opened and closed, and an acrylic plate 11 is attached to the display window 1.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, the front panel 2 is formed by forming a front leather 20 and a back leather 21 in a frame shape, forming a rectangular display window 1, and forming a front leather formed in the frame shape. The core material 23 is arranged between the back leathers and is sewn with the thread 24.

Therefore, before this sewing, a transparent acrylic pressing plate 10 is attached to the periphery of the display window 1 of the back leather 21 so that the pressing plate 10 covers the display window 1 so as to be freely opened and closed.

The pressing plate 10 is a rectangle that is slightly larger than the display window 1 and is sewn with the end of the pressing plate 10 sandwiched between one end of two pieces of leather, and the two pieces of leather that are sewn together. The other end is sewn to the back leather 21, and as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the periphery of the display window 1 is parallel to the side of the window (lower side in the figure) and between the outer edge. The press plate 10 is supported so as to be freely opened and closed, and the display window 1 is covered.

On the other hand, the sewing of the frame-shaped front leather 20 and the back leather 21 is performed by fixing the magnetic piece 3 at the four corners of the frame with the core material 23, fixing the outer periphery with the thread 24, and attaching the acrylic plate 11 to the display window 1. The periphery of the acrylic plate 11 and the periphery of the display window 1 are sewn with the thread 24 at the same time. Therefore, the acrylic plate 11 has a shape slightly larger than that of the display window 1.

The back plate 4 is a rectangle having the same size as the front panel 2 and is provided with magnet pieces 5 at four corners.

That is, as with the front panel 2, a core material 23 is provided between the front leather 20 and the back leather 21 and is sewn with the thread 24. It is fixed with a core material 23 and sewn with a thread 24.

Thus, embedding the magnetic piece 3 and the magnet piece 5 in leather is preferable because the magnetic piece 3 and the magnet piece 5 are not peeled off and look good.

This configuration is configured as described above, and when a photograph is mounted on the photo frame, the pressing plate 10 of the front panel 2 is opened, the photograph is placed on the display window 1, and then the pressing plate 10 is closed. Then, the pressing plate 10 covers the display window 1 and holds the photograph to stop the movement. At this time, since the photograph 6 is pressed by the pressing plate 10, the position placed on the display window 1 can be maintained as long as the front panel 2 is slightly tilted.

When the back plate is made to face in this state and the magnet piece 5 of the back plate 4 is firmly adsorbed to the magnetic piece 3 of the front panel 2 and fastened, wind pressure is generated, but one end of the pressing plate 10 has a display window. Since it is attached to the periphery of 1 and fixed, it does not move due to wind pressure, and the wind pressure Q is released in all directions as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the photograph 6 is pressed by the received wind pressure, and the movement of the photograph can be suppressed. In this way, the movement of the photograph 6 can be suppressed, and the attachment of the photograph 6 can be easily performed.

On the other hand, a photo frame equipped with Photo 6 should be displayed, for example, by leaning on something on a desk or by adhering it to a steel locker or refrigerator door using a magnet piece on the back plate 4. Can do.

In addition, in this form, what used the leather for the front panel 2 and the back board 4 was shown, However, It is not limited to raw materials, such as leather. Besides this, wood or resin may be used.

Further, in this embodiment, the magnetic piece 3 is provided at the four corners of the front panel 2 and the magnet piece 5 is provided at the four corners of the back plate 4. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the four corners of the front panel 2 are provided. The magnet piece 5 may be provided on the back plate 4 and the magnetic piece 3 may be provided on the back plate 4. Further, by arranging the magnetic piece 3 on one of the front panel 2 and the back plate 4 and arranging the magnet piece 5 on the other side in this way, the magnetic piece 5 can be manufactured without considering the magnetic poles.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, magnet pieces 5 provided at the four corners of the back plate 4 of the photo frame can be hung on a wall surface or the like. And a hanging string or chain 12 to which a magnet piece 5 is attached.

As shown in FIG. 3, the magnetic pieces 3 and magnetic pieces 5 on both ends of the string and chain 12 are attracted to the magnet pieces 3 and magnetic pieces 5 of the back plate 4 of the photo frame, and the string and chain 12 are used. Is pinned on the wall or hooked on a protrusion.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D, a photo frame can stand on a desk or a shelf.

First, FIG. 4A is a view in which bent portions 13 that connect the sides on both sides sandwiching one corner of the back plate 4 are provided.

For example, the bent portion 13 is formed by sewing with a thread 24 except for a portion of the core material 23 connecting both sides sandwiching one corner of the back plate 4 to form a bent line. Therefore, when attaching to the front panel 2, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the photo stand can be supported on a desk or a shelf so that it can be self-supported by bending outward and starting up.

Further, when it is no longer necessary to stand on its own, for example, the bent portion 13 may be extended so that the corner magnet piece 5 or the magnetic piece 3 is attracted to the magnetic piece 3 or the magnet piece 5 of the front panel 2.

FIG. 4 (c) shows the support plate 14 provided on the back plate 4. As shown in FIG. 4 (d), the support foot 14 is raised to support the photo stand so that it can stand on a desk or a shelf. It can be made to. When it is no longer necessary to stand on its own, the support foot 14 may be returned as shown in FIG.

In this third embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a stand 15 is an inverted saddle type composed of a base portion 16 and two attachment portions 17 and 17 'erected on the base portion 16. The front panels 2 and 2 'are attached to both sides of the back plate 4.

That is, two vertical portions of the inverted square shape are used as attachment portions 17 and 17 '. As shown in FIG. 5B, one attachment portion 17 is connected to one of the front panel 2 and the back plate 4. The other mounting portion 17 ′ is inserted between and supported by the other front panel 2 ′ and the back plate 4. At this time, if the width of the attachment portion of the stand is made of a magnetic material so as to reach both ends of the photo frame, the attachment can be strengthened by being attracted to the magnet pieces 5 of the front panel 2 or the back plate 4.

Since the photo frame can be vertically supported by the one supported by the stand 15 as described above, it can be used as, for example, a POP stand that displays menus and posters in addition to photographs.

In Example 4, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the front panels 2 and 2 'are adsorbed except for the back plate 4 of FIG. 5 (a). In this case, if the front panels 2 and 2 ′ are provided with the magnet piece 5 and the magnetic piece 3, it is not necessary to consider the direction of the magnetic poles. Magnet pieces 5 are used for 2 and 2 '.

At this time, if the direction of the magnetic poles of the front panel 2 and the 2 'magnet piece 5 is the same, the magnets repel each other and cannot be mounted. is there. As a method for solving this problem, for example, if the magnet piece 5 is made spherical and can be rotated, it can be attached without considering the direction of the magnetic pole.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, the stand 15 is inserted between the front panels 2 and 2 'by using an inverted T-shaped attachment portion 17 as shown in FIG.

In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a space for storing small articles W is formed on the back plate 4 so that a memory accessory and the like can be accommodated together with the photograph 6.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the thickness of the back plate 4 is increased (according to the size of the accessory), and the concave portion 18 is formed at a position facing the display window 1 of the front panel 2. Therefore, the concave portion 18 faces the display window 1 through the pressing plate 10, and a storage space for small articles W is formed on the back side of the photograph 6.

For example, the pressing plate 10 of the front panel 2 is opened, the photograph 6 is placed, and the pressing plate 10 is closed. Next, an accessory W or the like related to the photograph 6 is put in the recess 18 of the back plate 4 and the front panel 2 is attached. At this time, since the photograph 6 of the front panel 2 is fastened by the pressing plate 10, if it is supported by a finger so that the pressing plate 10 does not open, it can be easily attached. Moreover, since the pressing plate 10 functions as a separation wall after the attachment, small items enter and the photograph 6 is not damaged.

Then, when looking at the photograph 6 and wanting to take out the accessory W, it can be taken out by removing the front panel 2. Since this removal is only attracted by the magnet piece 5, it can be removed simply by pulling it without using a tool or the like, and is thus simple.

In the sixth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a backlight 19 is provided on the back plate 4. By turning on the backlight 19, the light is transmitted through a photograph (thin poster). And display it.

For the backlight 19, it is preferable to use an LED or the like that generates little heat because the photograph 6 is not damaged.

Since the present invention can surely and easily attach a card-like object, the card-like object can be used for display or display. For example, it can be used for photos, posters, menus, notes, price tags, and the like.
